TOMATO JAM 
3 c. prepared tomatoes about 2 1/4 lbs.
1 1/2 tsp. grated lemon rind
1/4 c. lemon juice (2 lemons)
6 1/2 c. (2 lb. 14 oz.) sugar
1 bottle Certo fruit pectin

First prepare tomatoes. Scald, peel and chop fully ripe tomatoes. Bring to a boil and simmer 10 minutes. Measure 3 cups into a large saucepan, add lemon rind and juice.

To the measured fruit in saucepan, add the exact amount of sugar specified, mix well. Bring to a full boil over high heat, at once stir in Certo. Skim off foam with metal spoon, then skim and stir for five minutes to cool slightly, to prevent floating fruit. Ladle into glasses, cover at once with 1/8 inch hot paraffin. Yields: 7 cups.

P.S. You wouldn't even know it was tomato if it weren't for the seeds. It's great.
